“Gas prices right now is insane. You can see right here is $5 on the sign. I was saying the gas prices are ridiculous. Paying $4.50 a gallon, almost, is just out of control. We’re not going to be able to take care of our families in a minute. I hope both sides can figure it out, even though I think it’s probably the U.S. that’s probably causing most of it. It’s messing with a lot of people in different ways, money wise, and it’s just unfair to all of us. It doesn’t matter if you’re Democrat or Republican, it’s everybody. I’m a DoorDash deliverer. I deliver DoorDash, so I need my car to work to drive people, deliver their food. The majority of the money I make doing that, I have to put it back in my car. So I’m paying $70, almost $80 a tank for my vehicle. And thankfully, I don’t got to pay for this vehicle. But still, even as a company, that still hurts.
